Before ascending to God, be a good lord

Chapter 144. 142. The Future of Rand and Yeqi City

On January 1th, the camp outside Rotor Castle gradually became lively, and the magic-free people began to make more carts. The Maned Wolf City Chamber of Commerce also bought some horses according to Rand's request.

In the early morning, Lante was exchanging swordsmanship with several middle-level knights as usual. When facing the sword with Rune Egret, Lante felt for a moment that his fighting spirit could leave the tip of his sword, and feel the pressure from the opposite side along Rune's sword. technique.

After a few days of sparring, Rand had already figured out the characteristics of Rune's moves, and it was easier to avoid the real and attack the false. In the end, Rune's fighting spirit was exhausted, and the two stopped fighting.

"My lord, your swordsmanship has improved again. I'm afraid next month, we can only let Dusen come back to compete with you." Pete Maned Wolf, who is average in swordsmanship but the best man, couldn't wait to start complimenting him.

Although Lante was very aware of the gap between himself and Dusen, he was very helpful to Pete's words.

"Lu En, I feel that I can use Dou Qi just now, and I can feel your way of using the sword."

"Oh, I want to congratulate you, this is a sign of fighting spirit, you can try more, if you can form a stable fighting spirit, then you will be a high-level knight." Lun once had a short time as a high-level knight. The knight's standard is very clear.

"Great." Old Huck was the happiest when he heard that, "If Rand can really break through to become a high-level knight, our family fortune will be more secure!"

Just as the knights began to compliment Rand again, a cavalryman came riding from the north, holding a small flag belonging to the orderly.

"Report, Captain Neil has a message for your lord!" The messenger immediately reported Neil's activities at the ruins of Yeqi City when he met Rand.

They found two small barbarian tribes on the ruins of Yeqi City and successfully annexed them.

Both tribes migrated all the way from the area north of the salt mine. According to their information, the winter of this year is quite sad for each tribe. The grain is basically exhausted. Many tribes have to find grass seeds for a living, especially in the north of the Benma River. Several heavy snowfalls have made the living conditions for livestock even more difficult.

After Neil got the information, he sent several teams to scout in several directions, while promoting the strength of the Benma tribe, claiming that the Benma tribe was willing to provide food and tents for all the barbarian tribes on the plain.

"Very good, you are doing well," Rand said, very satisfied with Neil's growth.

Now is the time when the crops are not harvested. The tribes north of the Benma River will migrate south to beg for food, and the tribes in the west will also migrate east. In previous years, the spring is the most ferocious day on the plain, for food and livestock. , slaves, tribes continue to fight and merge.

Now that Rand has the human empire as a source of food, he can definitely use the food to absorb more barbarians and strengthen his own strength. Neil is obviously clear, so he started making preparations before Rand gave the order.

"I will send a batch of food and people there as soon as possible, you tell Neil, and tell me about any difficulties."

"Yes! My lord." The orderly received the order and needed to return to the ruins as soon as possible.

Rand has decided to lead most of the people and barbarians back to the plains in early February, develop the ruins of Yeqi City, and gradually resume the production of salt mines. His idea is to spend the winter in Yeqi City by the end of this year. All 2 people It turns out that the people on the Benma Plain can live in Yeqi City, and the food for the winter can be raised from Longya City.

After experiencing setbacks in the breeding business, Rand decided to hand over the fishery to Greyhound and let him take care of it, while he focused on the preparations before development.

So after receiving Neil's letter, Rand immediately asked the Chamber of Commerce in the capital to help raise food, and arranged for his own caravan to prepare for business again at the end of the month.

The magic mirror was undoubtedly affected by the turbulence of magic. Rand, who could keep in touch with Dugan far away in the capital, could only rely on the messenger to get in touch with Neil.

. . .

Now the rising time of Emperor Yang is earlier every day than the previous day. Although the weather did not turn warm immediately, it can still be felt that winter is coming to the north of the Korniko Pass. As the weather gets warmer day by day, the whole territory Preparations began.

The non-magic people began to grind wheat into flour and bake it into naan again, making sausages, bacon and dried fish, and black cauldrons were set up in the camp.

Kur Yagan and several knights began to change the horseshoes for the black scaled horse. The butlers of the Demonless One organized the leaders to pack the large luggage. Lili, Johnny and others began to check the magic rune board.

Even all the children have to use the afternoon to weave straw ropes and help with packing.

Looking at the scene of the entire tent camp in full swing, Rand also had to make his own preparations: setting up the territory structure.

In his previous life, Rand was not considered an excellent employee with a deep understanding of enterprise management, but he knew that an organization with a larger number of people would need a more complex structure in order to effectively realize the full potential of the organization.

So Rand built a dual feudal + nomadic mixed structure for his territory according to the feudal dynasty in his hometown and the structure of the current human empire.

At the top of the structure is the lord's mansion and the joint meeting of the territory, and downwards are the feudal governor of Yeqi City and the nomadic leader of the Benma tribe.

Given the size and size of Yeqi City, the lord of Yeqi City alone is at least a Marquis, and the consul is at least an earl, but Rand is still a long way from a high-ranking officer, and he feels that the most reliable consul is not even a demon possessor. So the governor of Yeqi City was temporarily replaced by Lant, and Laniya was actually in charge.

Under the governor of Yeqi City, there are administrative departments such as clerical, civil service, finance, taxation, patrol, construction, education, justice, storage, transportation, grain, workshop, chamber of commerce management, and human statistics.

The main camp of the Benma tribe is also set up in Yeqi City. All the barbarian children and old people, and about 200 standing cavalry stay in the main camp of Yeqi City. Another 8 branches are set up to extend around Yeqi City. Arranged on the bank of the Ma River, it serves as the defense line and livestock breeding unit of Yeqi City.

In spring and summer, 8 barbarian tribes spread out to guard Yeqi City, and the pastures in the grassland can also provide enough food for black-scaled horses, cattle and sheep;
In winter, the 8 tribes returned to the main tribe of Yeqi City, and the old animals were slaughtered intensively. Yeqi City provided fodder and rations for young horses and barbarians.
In this way, the idea of ​​letting the barbarians continue the life of the barbarians and let the people live the life of the human race is realized in Randt's idea.

Although this structure is rough, the nomadic and feudal parts can be continuously improved in the future. Rand has already figured it out. In the future, when there are more people, each tribe will have a priest, and 8 temples will be built along the Benma River. All tribes are only semi-nomadic around the shrine.

As for Yeqi City, if there are too many people, you can try to set up different organizations. Even if it is a feudal society, you have to try a centralized feudal system, and you can't seal off all the land.
